Four people have been fined more than £5,000 in total after dumping rubbish on the streets of Bolton.
Bolton Council said it was ‘continuing a war’ on flytippers in the borough and would not hesitate to use enforcement powers if culprits could be identified. The fines, totalling £5,000, were handed to four people convicted of flytipping and other waste offences in Bolton.
Angela Guffogg, of Ainsworth Lane, pleaded guilty to flytipping a sofa directly outside a recycling facility. She was fined £233 and ordered to pay £100 costs and a victim surcharge of £93.
